SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY!

This is a competition that has to do with cloned beers. You have a favorite beer? Think you can recreate it? Prove it! Here’s your chance. Take your favorite commercial beer and brew a cloned version of it. You will be judged on that beers base style with the BJCP 2015 guidelines. You will receive awards or ribbons based on your scores in those BJCP categories (depending on the number of entrants). There will also be awards for those who best match the commercial example they are trying to clone. This is also an AHA/BJCP sanctioned event.
